Cinema and literature are two different ways of aesthetic production that are interconnected in many contemporary cultural oeuvres. We will investigate relations between the book To the left of the father, written by Raduan Nassar and the homonym film directed by Luiz Fernando Carvalho. For that purpose we selected philosophical conceptions of Merleau-Ponty and Bakhtin, which bear a field of tension that is inherent to communicative/perceptive relations. The analysis of chosen works intends to make explicit the course of change in the human relations trajectories. It implies the seek of integration among the diversity of expressive possibilities.
